The Manuscript is Complete

Tuesday, August 7, 2007

… or at least a revision of it anyway. But this means that I won’t have to touch that long epigenetics article for a while now.

This leaves me more time for Imagine. I’m going to be doing quite a bit to it in the near future, focusing on optimization. I know you’ve been asking for new features, but optimization has to come first — Java is slow… very slow. I’ll rewrite the compositors, implement clipping, and reimplement the filters. It won’t be as fast as Photoshop, but these optimizations will make way for further addition of features. Specifically, I’m looking to embed Rhino for user-generated plugins!

On the horizon, I see Imagine turning into a social tool, used not only to generate and share artwork, but also to distribute custom plugins, brushes, and such. Great things are afoot.

    Heh, Imagine is a masterpiece in the works dude. I only wish I could do a little more for it. We should get together regularly during the school year to work on it.

    Thank you. It can form the basis of a photomanipulation interest group, even. Though… Photoshop would be welcome as well.
